    Expediting & Past-Due Recovery
    • Identify late and at-risk shipments and drive recovery actions
    • Communicate directly with suppliers to obtain firm commit dates
    • Coordinate partial shipments, alternate sourcing, or expedited freight when necessary
    • Escalate critical shortages with clear recommendations and impact analysis
    Inbound Logistics Coordination
    • Partner with logistics teams and carriers to ensure shipment execution
    • Resolve missed pickups, transit delays, and documentation issues
    • Track shipments from supplier dock to final receipt
    Production & Stakeholder Support
    • Serve as point of contact for inbound constrained materials
    • Communicate shortages and recovery plans to planning and operations teams
    Required Qualifications:
    • 2-5 years of tactical buying, expediting, or supply chain operations experience
    • Experience in the Defense/Aerospace industry preferred
    • Bachelor's degree required (Supply Chain, Business, or related field preferred, but degree field is flexible)
    • Intermediate Excel skills (VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables required)
    • Strong follow-up skills and sense of urgency
    • Ability to prioritize and pivot in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment
    • Team-oriented mindset
